@chris_sutton73 If they gave MoN the first cup final then we’d be treble winners. And we’ve been truly awful for 90% of the season and games 🍀💚🍀😂

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

We’ve been shite this season apart from about 3hrs of football across 60+ games. Despite that, if we’d have kept MoN for the first cup final instead of Nancy, we’d be treble winners 😳😂 Let that sink in…

This gave me goosebumps 💚🤍

@EdDWoodJr @oilysailor Accidental or not, they the laws of the game. Celtic don’t make those, they just play by them. Been done enough times for decisions like that in their own box. Hearts should have wrapped it up weeks ago if it wasn’t for their away form

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

@Beardster12 @Banno____ @chris_sutton73 Doesn’t make it a wrong decision. Could post tonight’s decision with loads of comments disagreeing with it but ultimately it’s the refs decision that counts. Even funnier that he’s a blue nose 😂

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

@Beardster12 @Banno____ @chris_sutton73 This outstretched arm you mean? Might be harsh but arm outstretched, shot on target and keeper unlikely to save it. Lucky to not be sent off as well. Penalty still needs scoring and Celtic hardly been great from the spot last few years

🗣️ "That is a poor, poor decision."

Ref Watch on the penalty given against Kilmarnock after a VAR check, with Celtic going on to win the game from the resulting spot-kick. Click here to watch ⤵️

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

@Beardster12 @Banno____ @chris_sutton73 Kilmarnock’s Mayo I think it was basically saved Forrest’s shot. Easy decision to give even without VAR

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

@Banno____ @Beardster12 @chris_sutton73 You don’t know that. Those officials have proven to give ‘dodgy’ decisions over the last few years given their allegiances. Hibs scored 2 weeks ago with a double handball that was allowed to stand

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

@Beardster12 @chris_sutton73 Could have give it for the handball or elbow tbf

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

@theawayfans Yes, could have give the pen for either the handball or elbow. Even the Sevco supporting officials couldn’t find a way not to give it

🔥 DAIZEN MAEDA WITH AN OVERHEAD KICK!

Celtic with a two-goal cushion over Rangers, and it comes in SPECTACULAR fashion ⤵️

@tamrabam1 @lionsroar67 @BlairMcNally1 Believe what you want pal. I’ve no reason to lie. Just trying to put the truth straight after seeing this post earlier

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

@tamrabam1 @lionsroar67 @BlairMcNally1 It’s public knowledge that Celtic didn’t meet Hibs asking price until Villa did. Bruce has said he guaranteed McGinn playing time which Celtic couldn’t do. Friends at Villa have confirmed that so yeah ITK enough on this one mate

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

@tamrabam1 @lionsroar67 @BlairMcNally1 A lot closer to the deal than you I guarantee mate. First post claimed we refused to pay 5m, because we didn’t go past 2.5m after several lower offers. Hibs held firm and Villa matched it only after we f*cked about and gave Bruce chance to get at McGinn and his family to pls them

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

@tamrabam1 @lionsroar67 @BlairMcNally1 Key issue was the playing time guarantee for him. Villa in the championship could only offer similar wages as us but Bruce knew his family loved golf so took them out for the day while Villa found the money for Hibs asking price, while Celtic low-balled them repeatedly

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

@tamrabam1 @lionsroar67 @BlairMcNally1 We haggled over .25m in a 2.75m deal, that Villa couldn’t do initially. Had we paid the 2.75 he’d have joined. While we dithered their manager Steve Bruce took his family to play golf at the Belfrey to stall for time while Villa secured more funds and guaranteed playing time

[Colin Yates @yatesy79]

It was only one hand tbf 🙄🍀💚🍀 #HIBCEL
